\"\" Chloe Sevigny for PSWL. Image: Proenza Schouler<\/p>\n

Chlo\u00eb Sevigny: Queen of the ’90s, the ultimate “it-girl”. She stole our hearts as Larry Clarke’s tragic heroine, and has been a reigning monarch of pop culture ever since. Her shaved head, boyish style and bold androgyny rejected femininity as we knew it and redefined beauty standards in her distinct Sevigny style. She landed modelling contracts with everyone from H&M to Miu Miu to Chlo\u00e9 (lest we forget Chlo\u00eb-does-Chlo\u00e9). She’s an acting sensation, fashion icon, designer, producer, director, feminist \u2014 the girl can do no wrong. Amidst the news this week that she’s fronting PSWL, Proenza Schouler’s White Label campaign,<\/a>\u00a0we chart the roles Queen Chlo\u00eb has slayed in the past 25 years.<\/p>\n

The Finest Example of “White Trash” There Ever Was<\/h2>\n

It may have a bad rep across the board, but no one does white trash like our girl Chlo. Bleached blonde hair with brows to match (which btw, no, you should not try at home), Sevigny brought an understated beauty to her hopeless, “low-life” characters. From sad loner Daisy in “The\u00a0Brown Bunny\u201d\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0despondent nymphet Dot in “Gummo“,\u00a0<\/em>Sevigny kills small-town white girl chic.<\/p>\n

The Pre-Supreme Streetwear Don<\/h2>\n

\nSevigny was feeling Fila before streetwear snobs were even out of their diapers. Try and tell us you don’t want to emulate this exact look today. P.S.: If\u00a0anyone\u00a0<\/em>knows where we can get that jacket, hit us up.<\/p>\n

The Stripped-Back Covergirl<\/h2>\n

It takes a hell of a woman to be able to pull off a bowl cut (believe us, we’ve tried), but Chlo\u00eb Sevigny slays every time.\u00a0 This nostalgic and stripped-back cover, once again challenging conventions of beauty and femininity, is giving us the chills. GO CHLO\u00cb GO.<\/p>\n

The Soul-Searching Teen (and Tragic Heroine)<\/h2>\n

The world wasn’t ready for the cultural shake-up that was to follow the controversy that was “Kids”. Sevigny erupted on to the scene as shy New York teen Jennie, who is faced with the gruesome reality of HIV. With a rawness and innocence that won all of our hearts, Sevigny’s enduring legacy is largely thanks to her first (and street-cast) role.<\/p>\n

The Pilled-Up Party Girl<\/h2>\n

Ok so this is a bad film, we know. But it’s a\u00a0gut\u00a0<\/em>bad film, you know what we mean? Macaulay Culkin and Chlo\u00eb Sevigny play the hedonistic youth of the ’80s club scene alongside a weird (true-story) murder plot. Come for Chlo\u00eb, stay for the looks.<\/p>\n
